WHY is SANDER ami SONS’ EUCALYPTI EXTRACT superior to any other Eucalyptus produced? Because it is always safe, reliable and effective. A death was recently reported from the internal use of one of the concoctions which are now palmed off as “Extracts” and at an action at law a sworn witness testified that he suffered the most cruel irritation from another, which was sold to him as “just as good as SANDER’S EXTRACT.” Therefore insist upon the GENUINE SANDER and SONS’ PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.
